The Decision Affirmed.

WASHINGTON, Oct. I5.-Commissioner
Sparks, has rendered a decision in
the case of the Northern Pacific
Railway company VS.. Rudolph Distler, on
an appeal from the decision of the Olym-
pia, Washington Territory, land office.
On Nov. Is, 1885, Distler presented his
homestead application for a quarter sec
ton within the limits of withdrawal for
indemnity purposes, alleging settlement
April Is, 1885, the tract in dispute being
continuously withdrawn since Aug, l3,
1887, and was also embraced in a list of
selections for indemnity purposes by the
company filed May II, 1885. Distler
made proof showing full compliance with
the law as to residence, improvements.
etc. The land Office held that he should
be allowed to enter the tract and that the
selection should be cancelled.
This case is similar in all important par.
t~iculars to the celebrated Gullford Miller
case, to which the commissioner calls at,
tention as follows:
Referring to the letter by His Excel
lency Grover Cleveland, president of the
United States. in the matter of the case
of Guiliord Miller, | must refuse to APP
prove the selection. by the company, q
settlement right having been attached tc
the tract prior to said selection. You
decision is therefore affirmed and Distler's
application is held for allowance. Should
this become final and the selection be
cancelled the company might select land
in lieu thereof Should a deficiency exist,
upon which no settlement claim exists a

a Mysterious Crime.

Los ANGELES, Oct. l5.-A few days
ago the burned remains of a man were
found in the ruins of a barn at Compton,
near this city. The body was burned
beyond recognition, but it was believed to
be that of DR.. Harlan, a well known dent
ist and sporting man OF this city. A eirl
named Hattie Woolsteen, who came here
recently from Peoria, Ills, was arrested
on suspicion, and last night her sister,
Minnie Woolsteen, made a statement that
Harlan had been the cause of Hattie
ruin and that on the night of the murder
the pair went riding in the direction Of
Compton, where Hattie threatened to
expose Harlan's conduct. Harlan had a
wife and family in this city, and Hattie's
threats so frightened him, her sister states,
that he shot himself in the carriage. His
companion feared the results of being
found with the dead body, 50 she took ii
to the barn. set fire to the building and
escaped.

NEW York, Oct l5.-The score in
the series for the worlds championship
now stands: Detroit 4, st. Louis 2. In
the record the two shut outs of the ASSOC
citation champions should add TO the
prestige of the league champions. The
game at the Polo ground to-day was
played under circumstance to impel the
players to do their best work. The spec
tators, who came only to see a good game
Of base ball without friend or favor, mum
bered 10000. They we're not disappoint-
ed. They expected to see the st. Louis
men make a closer fight that they did,
but as they witnessed the splendid field
ing exhibition of the Straits City club and
the wonderful pitching of their Getzein,
they could only admit that the victors
were invincible this day and st. Louis
must wait till some other day. To Getz.
Elm belongs the principal credit of the
victory. His delivery was too much for
the ordinarily clever batters in the oppos-
ing team. When it is considered that Of
the whole nine from st. Louis only two
made clean hits, aud those in the last
inning, it will be seen that Getzein was
out as a pitcher and got there. On the
other hand, FoutZ was frequently hit
ha-d, and, while the Detroits earned six
of their nine run the support Dave re-
ceived at critical periods was discouraging.
Even Bushong, the reliable, was away of
in his throwing to bases, and Gleason and
| Robinson, though the latter did generally
good work, made mistakes that saddened
the crowd as well as Fodtz. Funny
Latham was funnier than usual. He
made several remarks that caused the
crowd to laugh, and once, when he urged
| Bushong to throw the ball to second
with the smoke on it." even Foutz had to
smile.

their power to revive him. Water was
thrown in his face and stimuiaHts were
administered. DR.. Kennedy Jones came
to the assistance OF DR.. Bryant, and the
two gentlemen worked with the PROSTATE
and unconscious form, but without avail.
President Cleveland, who had Just nm
ished his address, stood looking at the
efforts that were being made to revive the
venerable iurist. with sad and sympa
thetic countenance, while Mrs. Cleveland
seemed deeply affected. The presidential
party had left the platform before DR..
Bryant sadly arose from over the body
aud turning to an acquaintance remarked,
Let us Join the presidents party" In
answer to an inquiry, "What is the mat
ter with Judge Elicit p DIR. Bryant re-
sponded: "He has tainted and has not yet
recovered consciousness. This was said
to dispel the shadow of gloom that might
otherwise have been cast upon the festiv-
tiles had the true condition of the stricken
man been made known.
The immense multitude who witnessed
the incident did not realize that death had
come. They made a rush for the exposi.
ton building, where the reception was
being held, leaving to the friends OF the
Judge the sad duty of carrying the remains
across the street, whence they were soon
afterwards taken where he had left a few
hours before to welcome President Cleve-
land on behalf of the Southern people.
The presidential reception to the public
in the hall of the Cotton exchange was
about an hour in length. From the ex,
change the party was escorted to their
train and at | p. N. left for Nashville.
BARTLETT, Tenn, Oct. l5.-The presi-
dental train was on time here. Informa-
ton has Just been conveyed to the presi-
dent of the death of Judge Elicit and be
is greatly shocked. He expressed the
warmest sympathy with the bereaved
family. DIR. Bryant says he found no
signs of life when he reached the unfortu-
nate man side, but he said nothing until
he was relieved a few minutes later by two
local physicians and to these he said the
judge was dead.
NASHVILLE, Oct. 15.-At Mckenzie,
Tenn, the president, Mrs. Cleveland and
the postmaster general actually got left,
the train starting gailY off for Nashville
without them. After some delay the
train was brought back and the party
came aboard laughing. All along the
road great crowds were collected to see the
passing train, and the usual demonstra-
tons were made. At quarter past 9 the
train reached Bellemeade, six miles from
Nashville, where Ex-senator, now Judge
Jackson and his brother, Gen. w. II.
Jackson, entered the car and welcomed
the presidential party. The president,
Mrs, Cleveland and Col. Lamont entered
the carriage of Gen. Jackson to become
his guests till Monday morning, while the
postmaster general and wife, DR. Bryant
and Nh Blssell accompanied the ex SEN
ator. The other members of the party
proceeded to Nashville on the train, ard
were quartered at the Maxwell house.
Mr.. John Hinmen, of New York. a well
known Southern financier, by invitation
joins the presidents party here and will
remain with them until their arrival at
